Identification of Potential Parkinson’s Disease Drugs Based on Multi-Source Data Fusion and Convolutional Neural Network

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a serious neurodegenerative disease. Most of the current treatment can only alleviate symptoms, but not stop the progress of the disease. Therefore, it is crucial to find medicines to completely cure PD. Finding new indications of existing drugs through drug repositioning can not only reduce risk and cost, but also improve research and development efficiently. A drug repurposing method was proposed to identify potential Parkinson’s disease-related drugs based on multi-source data integration and convolutional neural network. Multi-source data were used to construct similarity networks, and topology information were utilized to characterize drugs and PD-associated proteins. Then, diffusion component analysis method was employed to reduce the feature dimension. Finally, a convolutional neural network model was constructed to identify potential associations between existing drugs and LProts (PD-associated proteins). Based on 10-fold cross-validation, the developed method achieved an accuracy of 91.57%, specificity of 87.24%, sensitivity of 95.27%, Matthews correlation coefficient of 0.8304, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.9731 and area under the precision–recall curve of 0.9727, respectively. Compared with the state-of-the-art approaches, the current method demonstrates superiority in some aspects, such as sensitivity, accuracy, robustness, etc. In addition, some of the predicted potential PD therapeutics through molecular docking further proved that they can exert their efficacy by acting on the known targets of PD, and may be potential PD therapeutic drugs for further experimental research. It is anticipated that the current method may be considered as a powerful tool for drug repurposing and pathological mechanism studies.     

Zum Einfluß der Substituenten R = Ph,NEt2, iPr und tBu in Triphosphanen, (R2P)2P?SiMe3, und Phosphiden,Li(THF)2[(R2P)2P], auf die Bildung und Eigenschaften von Phosphinophosphiniden-Phosphoranen

Concerning the Influence of the Substituents R = Ph, NEt₂, ⁱPr, and ^tBu in Triphosphanes (R₂P)₂P? SiMe₃ and Phosphides Li(THF)₂[(R₂P)₂P] on the Formation and Properties of Phosphino-phosphinidene-phosphoranes The triphosphanes X₂P? P(SiMe₃)? PY₂ 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and the derived phosphides Li(THF)₂[X₂P? P? PY₂] 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 were synthesized: 5 and 6 with X₂ = ⁱPr₂ and Y₂ = ^tBu₂, 7 and 8 with X₂ = Y₂ = Ph^tBu, 9 and 10 with X₂ = ^tBu₂ and Y₂ = Ph₂, 11 and 12 with X₂ = Y₂ = Ph₂, and 13 and 14 with X₂ = ^tBu₂ and Y₂ = (NEt₂)₂. The silylated triphosphanes at ?70°C in toluene with CBr₄ may yield X₂P? P?P(Br)Y₂ and X₂P? P(Br)? PY₂, and the lithiated phosphides with MeCl may yield X₂P? P?P(Me)Y₂ and X₂P? P(Me)? PY₂ depending on X and Y. The bromiated product of 5 (X₂ = ⁱPr₂, Y₂ = ^tBu₂) is the ylide ⁱPr₂P? P?P(Br)^tBu₂, and the methylated derivatives of 6 are both ⁱPr₂P? P?P(Me)^tBu₂, ^tBu₂P? P?P(Me)ⁱPr and the methylated triphosphane. Ph₂P? P?P(Br)^tBu₂ as well as the brominated triphosphane are obtained from 9 (X₂ = ^tBu₂, Y₂ = Ph₂), and similarly Ph₂P? P?P(Me)^tBu₂ and the methylated triphosphane from 10 . Compound 14 (X₂ = ^tBu₂, Y₂ = (NEt₂)₂ gives rise to the brominated ylide ^tBu₂)P? P?P(Br) · (NEt₂)₂ and to the brominated triphosphane, and on methylation to ^tBu₂P? P?P(Me)(NEt₂)₂ and to ^tBu₂P? P(Me)? P · (NEt₂)₂ (main product). The Br substituted derivatives decompose already on warming to ?30°C, while the methylated compounds are stable up to 20°C.     

Spectroscopy and the classification of liquid stationary phases in gas-liquid chromatography

Summary A table of data for acidity, basicity, polarity and London potential for stationary phases is given. These provide guidance in choosing a stationary phase for a given task from the 26 substances listed. The indices are calculated from infra-red shifts of 1-chlorobutane and the visible wavelength shifts of l₂ when they are dissolved in the stationary phases, from NMR estimates of acidity and basicity and from relative retention data. They replace the less reliable data of Burns and Hawkes. Methods of determining the indices are suggested that require only a gas chromatograph and can be applied by technicians with no specialized understanding of solution parameters. An attempt to add electron donoracceptor indices to the table was unsuccessful. A further table is given of the slopes of the log plots d(logt)/dC for use in extrapolating from one homologue to another on these stationary phases.     

Synthese der Silatetraphospholane (tBuP)4SiMe2, (tBuP)4SiCl2 und (tBuP)4Si(Cl)SiCl3 Molekül- und Kristallstruktur von (tBuP)4SiCl2

Synthesis of the Silatetraphospholanes (tBuP)₄SiMe₂, (tBuP)₄SiCl₂, and (tBuP)₄Si(Cl)SiCl₃ Molecular and Crystal Structure of (tBuP)₄SiCl₂ The reaction of the diphosphide K₂[(tBuP)₄] 7 with the halogenosilanes Me₂SiCl₂, SiCl₄ or Si₂Cl₆ in a molar ratio of 1:1 leads via a [4 + 1]-cyclocondensation reaction to the silatetraphospholanes (tBuP)₄SiMe₂ 1,1-dimethyl-1-sila-2,3,4,5-tetra-t-butyl-2,3,4,5-tetraphospholane, 1 , (tBuP)₄SiCl₂, 1,1-dichloro-1-sila-2,3,4,5-tetra-t-butyl-2,3,4,5-tetraphospholane, 2 , and (tBuP)₄Si(Cl)SiCl₃, 1-chloro-1-trichlorsilyl-1-sila-2,3,4,5-tetra-t-butyl-2,3,4,5-tetraphospholane, 3 , respectively, with the 5-membered P₄Si ring system. The reaction leading to 1 is accompanied with the formation of the by-product Me₂(Cl)-Si–(tBuP)₄–Si(Cl)Me₂ 1a (5:1), which has a chain structure. On warming to 100°C 1a decomposes to 1 and Me₂SiCl₂. The compounds 2 and 3 do not react further with an excess of 7 due to strong steric shielding of the ring Si atoms by the t-butyl groups. 1, 2 and 3 could be obtained in a pure form and characterized NMR spectroscopically; 2 was also characterized by a single crystal structure analysis. 1a was identified by NMR spectroscopy only.

Carbonyl- and Nitrosyl Complexes of Manganese and Rhenium of Weakly Coordinated Anions (Ph₃P)₂(ON)₂MnX, (Ph₃P)_n(OC)_5–nMX (M = Mn, Re; n = 1, 2; X = FBF₃, OSO₂CF₃, OSO₂F, OCOR_f) The complexes (Ph₃P)₂(ON)₂MnX (X = FBF₃, OSO₂CF₃, OSO₂F, OCOCF₃, OCOC₃F₇) and (Ph₃P)_n(OC)_5–nMX (M = Mn, Re; n = 1, 2; X = FBF₃, OSO₂CF₃) have been obtained by reaction of (Ph₃P)₂(ON)₂MnH and (Ph₃P)_n(OC)_5–nMeMe with the corresponding acids HX or from (Ph₃P)_n(OC)_5–nReBr (n = 1, 2) with silver salts AgX, respectively. The compounds have been characterized by their IR and partially by ¹⁹F-NMR data. An efficient method for the preparation of the hydride (Ph₃P)₂(ON)₂MnH is reported.     

Determination of midazolam and its α-hydroxy metabolite in plasma by gas chromatography with electron capture detection

A sensitive GC-ECD assay has been developed for the simultaneous determination of midazolam (I) and its α-hydroxy metabolite (II) in plasma. The assay involves extraction of both compounds into ether at alkaline pH (pH 12), followed by silylation of the α-hydroxy metabolite with N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl) trifluoroacetamide (BSTFA). On extracting 0.5 ml of plasma, the sensitivity limits are 4ng/ml for I and 3ng/ml for II. If present, the minor urinary metabolites, the 4-hydroxy (III) and the α,4-dihydroxy compound (IV), can also be determined by this method.     

Monomere Komplexe NiL mit vierzähnigen Liganden [R2P(S)N–R'–NP(S)R2]2– (= L) [1]

Monomeric Complexes NiL with Tetradentate Ligands [R₂P(S)N–R'–NP(S)R₂]^2– (= L) Metathesis of [NiCl₂(PPh₃)₂] with Li salts of the potentially tetradentate ligands [R₂P(S)N–R'–NP(S)R₂]^2– (= L) affords monomeric complexes NiL containing the chromophore NiN₂S₂ ( 1 : R = Et; a , b : R' = Me₂C–(CH₂)₂–CMe₂, o-Phenylen; 2 : R = t-Bu, R' = (CH₂)_n; a – c : n = 2, 3, 4). According to the results of magnetic measurements and VIS as well as NMR spectroscopy (¹H, ³¹P) these complexes are planar except 1 a that is tetrahedral. In case of 1 a and 2 c this was confirmed by the results of crystal structure analyses. In toluene, however, 1 a and 2 c form an equilibrium of planar (diamagnetic) and tetrahedral (paramagnetic) conformers. VT-¹H-NMR including ¹H,¹H-COSY showed a hindered Δ,Λ-inversion of 1 a below 330 K. Only with 1 b a pentacoordinate adduct 1 b · PPh₃ was obtained that completely dissociates in its components on dissolving in benzene. 1 a and 2 c crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c containing 4 molecules in the unit cell of the dimensions 1 a : a = 8.774(1), b = 12.335(2), c = 21.339(3) Å, β = 92.33(1)° and 2 c : a = 13.374(8), b = 16.197(8), c = 12.814(6) Å, β = 109.20(4)°. The coordination of the Ni atom yields in 1 a a dihedral angle ϵ of 41.7(1)° and thus a geometry intermediate between planar and tetrahedral while in 2 c the angle of 4.5(1)° reveals a nearly planar chromophore NiN₂S₂.     

Chromatogram surgery

A computer program is developed on a Hewlett-Packard 3354 B Laboratory Automation System to eliminate background in gas and liquid chromatograms. Moreover undesired peaks, such as solvent peaks and spikes, can be excluded by selecting appropriate method parameters or by application of the integrator-timed events directly affecting peak integration. Injudicious application of these codes deforms the chromatograms. Peaks can be labelled with retention times, areas or amounts.     

Molecular weight distributions of linear polymers: Detailed analysis from GPC data

The GPC method is used widely to measure molecular weights of linear polymers. High-quality GPC data contains detailed information on many aspects of the polymer's molecular weight distribution (MWD). This information can be extracted from the data using computer analysis. Equations have been derived for the two simplest MWD functions in the GPC coordinates: the Flory function (one growing polymer chain produces one polymer molecule), and for the case when two polymer radicals combine into one polymer molecule. The equations were used to analyze MWD of two classes of polymers. The first class includes polymers with narrow MWD: polyethylene, ethylene-propylene and ethylene-hexene copolymers, syndiotactic polystyrene, and radical polystyrene. The second class includes polymers with broad MWD: ethylene copolymers and polypropylene produced with heterogeneous, Ti-based catalysts. The examples demonstrate that the resolution of complex GPC curves into their constitutents serve as an important source of information about kinetics of polymerization reactions. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Das erste KEGGIN-Anion mit tetraedrischer. Kupfer(II)—Sauerstoff-Koordination: [α-Cu0,4(H2)0,6O4W12O36]6−

The First KEGGIN-Anion with Tetrahedral Coordination of Copper(II)-Oxygen: [α-Cu_0,4(H₂)_0.6O₄W₁₂O₃₆]^6? The solution of the Cu^II-containing heteropolyanion was prepared starting from an aqueous solution of Na₂WO₄, adjusting to pH 5–6 by adding slowly a solution of Cu(NO₃)₂ in HNO₃. The addition of the corresponding amount of N(CH₃)₄Br to the concentrated solution led to the crystallization of the greenish-yellow mixed crystals (TMA)₆[α-Cu_0.4(H₂)_0.6O₄W₁₂O₃₆] · 9 H₂O. After repeated recrystallization it has been investigated by chemical, spectroscopic (IR/Raman, UV, ¹⁸³W/¹H-NMR, ESR) and X-ray diffraction methods (monoclinic; space group P2₁; a = 13.117(4), b = 21.466(4), c = 13.223(3) Å, β = 91.60°; Z = 2; D_c = 3.041 g · cm^?3; R = 8.0%). The distances of the four “tetrahedral” oxygen atoms to the position (0, 0, 0) range from 1.67 to 1.93 Å. The alternative occupation of the central KEGGIN position with copper(II) and two protons, respectively, accounts for the different distances. The prepared solid solution represents the first example for the tetrahedral copper(II)-oxygen coordination in any heteropolyanion compound.     

Synthese und Struktur von Hexa-t-butyl-1,4-dichloro-1,4-distanna-2,3,5,6,7,8-hexaphosphabicyclo[2.2.2]octan – Eine neue Käfigverbindung mit dem Sn(P2)3Sn-Gerüst

Synthesis and Structure of Hexa-t-butyl-1,4-dichloro-1,4-distanna-2,3,5,6,7,8-hexaphosphabicyclo[2.2.2]octane – a New Cage Compound with the Sn(P₂)₃Sn Skeleton The reaction of the diphosphide K₂[(tBuP)₂] 1 with SnCl₄ leads by a redox process mainly to (tBuP)_3,4 and other sideproducts. However, at the same time a threefold [2 + 1]-cyclocondensation reaction takes place yielding the new cage compound hexa-t-butyl-1,4-dichloro-1,4-distanna-2,3,5,6,7,8-hexaphosphabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, ClSn(tBuP? PtBu)₃SnCl 2 . 2 could be obtained in a pure form and characterized ³¹P and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectroscopically; 2 was also characterized by a single crystal structure analysis.

Chromatographic retention data of N-alkylamides of benzomorpholine-2-carboxylic acid in the study of structure-activity relationships

Summary The adrenolytic activity of N-alkylamides of benzomorpholine-2-carboxylic acid was correlated to their log k and R_M values determined by reversed-phase liquid chromatography and thin-layer chromatography. Mixtures of water with several organic modifiers were used as the mobile phase.     

A simple procedure for evaluating the heterogeneity parameter and the ratio of molecular sizes of solute and solvent by using HPLC data

Based on the relationship defining the dependence of the capacity ratio upon the composition of the mobile phase, a simple numerical procedure is proposed for evaluating the heterogeneity parameter and the ratio of molecular sizes of solute and solvent. This procedure is examined by using HPLC data for pesticides chromatographed in isooctane/dichloromethane eluent on Lichrosorb at 291 K.     

单靠实验数据统计拟合能逼近真理吗？——论“凭什么相信计算”之三

鉴于诸如物理有机化学领域改进Hammett方程等引起的学术争论,本文以气体状态方程、电负性和硬软酸碱原理为例,分析在科学求真道路上得到的教训和成功经验,说明单靠增加实验数据统计拟合来"改进"唯象理论以期逼近真理的做法是没有根据的。历史上也没有成功的先例。这种做法在统计意义上是正确的,但与物理意义上的正确决不是一回事。     

Chelatkomplexe LM/n von Übergangsmetallen mit Iminophosphin-säureamidato-Liganden R2P(NR′)2– (= L)

Chelate Complexes LM/n of Transition Metals with Phosphinoimidic Amidato Ligands R₂P(NR′)₂^– (= L) Reaction of LLi with metal halides or metal halide complexes affords chelate complexes LM/n (L = R₂P(NR′)₂^–; M = Cr⁺⁺⁺, Co⁺⁺, Ni⁺⁺, Zn⁺⁺). With the bulky ligand t-Bu₂P(NSiMe₃)₂^– and Ni(PPh₃)₂Cl₂ or Ni(dme)Br₂ (dme = dimethoxyethane) only halide bridged chelates [LNiHal]₂ (Hal = Cl, Br) containing tetrahedral chromophors NiN₂Hal₂ were obtained. Main objects of investigation were the bischelates L₂Ni 2 . 2 a (R = i-Pr, R′ = Me) and 2 c (R = Ph, R′ = Et) are planar, 2 b (R = i-Pr, R′ = Et) and 2 d–g (R, R′ = i-Pr, i-Pr; Ph, i-Pr; Et, SiMe₃; Ph, SiMe₃) tetrahedral. In solutions of 2 b and 2 c a conformational equilibrium planar (diamagnetic) tetrahedral (paramagnetic) exists that is shifted to the right with increasing temperature and is dominated by the tetrahedral ( 2 b ) or planar conformer ( 2 c ) at room temperature. As is the case with the isovalence electronic compounds [R₂P(S)NR′]₂Ni small substituents R′ apparently favour the planar state and in contrast to some complexes [R₂P(O)NR′]₂Ni no paramagnetic planar species 2 have yet been observed. These findings that are derived from the results of magnetic measurements and of UV/VIS as well as NMR spectroscopy are confirmed by crystal structure determinations: 2 a was found to be planar (orthorhombic; a = 3382.8(11), b = 1124.0(4), c = 8874(3); P2₁2₁2; Z = 6), and 2 g to be tetrahedral (monocline; a = 1268.4(2), b = 1806.8(2), c = 1971.6(2), P2₁/n; Z = 4). The bite angle NNiN of the chelate ligand in 2 a (ca. 77°) is similar to those in paramagnetic planar complexes [R₂P(O)NR′]₂Ni (NNiO 74–77°) and shows that a small chelate bite does not necessarily imply paramagnetism of planar Ni(II) complexes.     

Synthesis,characterization and antimicrobial activity of triorganotin(IV) derivatives of some bioactive Schiff base ligands

Triorganotin(IV) complexes of the type Me₃Sn[OC(R¹):CH(CH₃)C:NR²OH] and Ph₃Sn[OC(R′):CH(CH₃)C:NR″OH] (R′ = ─CH₃, ─C₆H₅; R″ = ─(CH₂)₂─, ─(CH₂)₃─) have been synthesized by the reactions of trimethyl/phenyltin(IV) chloride with the sodium salt of corresponding Schiff base ligands in unimolar ratio in refluxing tetrahydrofuran. All these compounds have been characterized using elemental analyses and their probable structures have been proposed on the basis of infrared, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, ¹¹⁹Sn NMR and mass spectroscopic studies. In the trimethyltin(IV) derivatives the central tin atom is tetracoordinated, whereas in the analogous triphenyltin(IV)derivatives the central tin atom is pentacoordinated. All these ligands, metal precursors and corresponding triorganotin(IV) complexes have been screened for antimicrobial activities. A comparison of activities of the ligands and their corresponding triorganotin(IV) derivatives has been made. Attempts have also been made to relate the activity to the structure of these compounds.
